Are you masculine or feminine?

Besides genitalia, relative finger length is the only physical trait at birth that’s different in males and females. While still in the womb, the growth of our finger digits is affected by the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen. These hormones also have an effect on our brains.

So how to check? Males tend to have a ring finger that is longer than their index finger (average: 1 to 0.96 ratio), while females typically have index and ring fingers of the same length.

John Manning, a biologist who first identified the significance of ‘finger digit ratios’, says that “females with masculine digit ratios have more masculine behaviors…males with a typically female ratio exhibit more typically feminine behaviors.” Boys with female-type finger lengths tend to be more emotional and sensitive. Girls with the male-type finger lengths tend to be more hyperactive and more predisposed to autism. Lesbians are also more likely to have this finger ratio. Some other characteristics possibly associated with these ratios are musical and sports aptitude; on the negative side, risk of early heart disease and breast cancer.

Forget palmistry, read breasts

After palmistry, phrenology (reading bumps on the head), iridology (iris reading), feet and toe reading, an Italian researcher has now invented the fascinating art of: BREAST READING

Girls may have experienced this before: a guy coming up to them in a bar, grabbing their hands, and after a quick examination with a caressing finger, get flirtuous remarks thrown at them with here and there references to ‘heart line’ and ‘life line’ and so on.

Now imagine an Italian guy coming up to you, examining your breasts, and remarking how they resemble a certain fruit. According to the sexologist, women with lemon breasts are lively and can laugh at themselves. Grapefruit breasts are not a good sign for sex – women with these prefer tenderness. Large and well-rounded breasts are attached to women who like eating and want to be spoiled and admired.
